}DVMCP: Data Vending Machine Context Protocol
DVMCP (Data Vending Machine Context Protocol) is a project that bridges the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Nostr's Data Vending Machine (DVM) ecosystem. It enables AI and computational services running on MCP servers to be seamlessly discovered, accessed, and utilized via the decentralized Nostr network.
This integration combines MCP's standardized capability framework with Nostr's cryptographically secure and decentralized messaging, offering key advantages:
Discoverability: MCP servers and their capabilities can be found through the Nostr network without centralized registries.
Verifiability: Messages are cryptographically signed, ensuring authenticity and integrity.
Decentralization: No single point of failure for service discovery or communication.
Protocol Interoperability: Both MCP and DVMs leverage JSON-RPC patterns, facilitating smooth communication.
For a detailed technical specification, refer to the DVMCP Specification (2025-03-26).
Event Kinds
The following Nostr event kinds are defined and used within the DVMCP:
| Kind | Description |

| 31318 | Resources List |
| 31319 | Prompts List |
| 25910 | Requests |
| 26910 | Responses |
| 21316 | Feedback/Notifications |
| 1059 | Encrypted Messages (NIP-59 Gift Wrap) |
Packages
This monorepo contains the following packages:
@dvmcp/bridge
The bridge implementation that connects MCP servers to Nostr's DVM ecosystem. Handles tool announcement, execution, and status updates.
@dvmcp/discovery
A MCP server/discovery service that aggregates MCP tools from DVMs and makes their tools available.
@dvmcp/commons
Shared utilities and components used across DVMCP packages.
Installation & Usage
Prerequisite: Ensure you have Bun installed.
Quick Start with Bunx (No Installation)
You can run the packages directly using bunx without installing them:
